LANDSCAPE DESIGN & POOLSCAPE
Coatesville Riverhead Highway
Riverhead, Auckland
A refined country landscape connecting a brick home to its native forest setting, with an orchard, pool and spa opening towards the river and estuary.
Project Overview
Working with the clients from the concept stage, Planters developed a landscape to complement their brick home and connect it to the native forest beyond. A carefully selected mix of native and non-native planting brings the character of that backdrop towards the house, balancing a refined finish with the warmth of a country setting.
A citrus and fruit orchard offers a softer alternative to conventional screening, with planting beneath it and enough space for easy care and harvesting. The pool and spa create comfortable outdoor spaces overlooking the river and estuary. We also designed, engineered and installed the pump house so it serves the pool without interrupting that outlook.

Outcome
A refined country setting.
The landscape brings a sense of ease to the home. Layered planting connects the gardens to the surrounding forest, while the orchard and pool offer distinct places to enjoy everyday life outdoors. From the arrival at the house to the open view across the water, each element feels part of the same property.
